California the Smartest State Ever? Bans RFID in Workers

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007 (No comments yet)
First they banned rfid tagging of school kids. Now they're fully banning forced RFID implantation of workers.
Tackling a dilemma right out of a science fiction novel, the state Senate passed legislation Thursday that would bar employers from requiring workers to have identification devices implanted under their skin.
Well let's hear it for common sense. But of course, there's always this guy:
Nine senators opposed the measure, including Bob Margett (R-Arcadia), who said it is premature to legislate technology that has not yet proved to be a problem. "It sounded like it was a solution looking for a problem," Margett said. "It didn't seem like it was necessary."
Well, "Bob", maybe it's common practice for legislators to be behind the times and not have the foresight to solve a problem before it comes, but it would be nice if that weren't the case. Most of security is in prevention. (H/T to slashdot for the link)
